Code 211 (Robbery in progress): A Xander James Mystery Book 1

by Vickie Knob

Murder, crime, cover-up, corrupt politicians, even in small town America. Rookie cop, Xander James finds himself thrown head first in the middle of multiple crime scenes. Doing his best to figure out who he can trust, and who the criminals are, he finds help in some unlikely places. Bailey Evans is a small town girl, not looking for anything. Except maybe how to survive till her next meager paycheck comes from her teller job at the local bank. She's broke, disillusioned, and brokenhearted after her ex left her with all the bills and took off with a younger woman. Code 211 is the first in a series where a young rookie cop finds it's not the size of the town, but the depth of its secrets and lies that makes a criminal element strong.

Great read that has you turning pages from the start. First person snippets guide you through the story piece by piece until the puzzle is complete. Thanks Vickie for another fast paced story!

Oh what delight. I was going back and forth as to who did what.
characters: Karalyn Dodge (owns a farm), Justin Dolan (Police officer), Bailey Evans (Bank employee), Ignacio Montoya (you read correctly, migrant field worker), Alexander James (Xander James, Police rookie), and some others. They are all well developed and interesting.
plot: bank robbery - now who did it? during the peach Festival in Peach Valley , and then there is murder.
It can be a one day book, if you have the day.
I highly recommend it. and there is one to follow. Code 187 Go to vlknobauthor.com
